There are some people (due to their circumstances) and the size of their dreams, who cannot do or have the desires of their heart WITHOUT God making good on all of His promises.

This is me, and has always been been me.

I've always had God-sized dreams, goals and desires.

So I've learned God's Wor...

This year God had to remind me to GIVE TO GET.

My wife Leslie and I are generous, we love giving, blessing others.

The video is from a few years ago randomly blessing a fast food worker with a stack of benjamins. Sometimes we give in public, sometimes in private. Love both!

We love doing unexpect...

My three levels of PRIORITY for growing a startup. 

For me, it's no longer Low, Medium and High. 

A few years back this really helped me set a new standard for assigning priority levels to my tasks and projects.

Setting priority is something most startup founders struggle with.

My problem with L...

God is raising up and equipping a new breed of Kingdom-Minded entrepreneurs who are full of the Holy Spirit and filled with faith. The question is why?

#1 - To provide employment (safe harbor) to the body of Christ AND anyone seeking refuge from the woke corporate marxism that is infecting the worl...

I had a sudden revenue shift in one of my ventures, going from $200,000 to $1 million in monthly sales. The shift happened over 30 days.

We hit a roadblock at $200k per month and tried various tactics to accelerate growth, but we were stuck in the mud for 11 months straight.

We kept at it, continu...

Not every opportunity is from God. Don't walk into every open-door thinking it's from God.

I can't count how many opportunities I've passed on, because they're not from God. 

When you're on an assignment for God, a calling, stick to God's roadmap.

At times, I've learned this the hard way. 

There...

Don't get comfortable with success.

Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.

That quote from Billy Graham is so true.

One of the lessons I've learned over the past 40 years building and investing in a variety of ventures is there is very little learning on th...

Don't be a Christian Kiss-Butt!

Nothing worse than someone with false humility. A WIMP.

Don't get me wrong, God loves humility and resists the proud.

And so do I!

But Jesus paid the price so we could be more than conquerors.

- Not sheep headed for slaughter.

- If you are a Christ follower, you...

What do you do when your circumstances are out of control? When you have a business that is failing?

I can only tell you what I have done. I've always said we are in one of three life stages.

#1 - In a crisis
#2 - Coming out of a crisis
#3 - Heading right into a crisis

The trouble with trouble is t...

My present circumstances have nothing to do with the size of my business/personal dreams and goals. The size is determined by this and this only.

I set the size of my business/personal dreams and goals through my faith in this promise from Ephesian 3:20 AMP. 

- Now to Him who is able to [carry out...

Yesterday many of us celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. But the birth of Jesus does you no good if you don't celebrate another birth, YOURS.

Before God formed you in your mother's womb, He knew you.

He chose you before the creation of the world.

He has an actual plan and purpose fo...

To any of you who find yourselves broke this Christmas, I've been there and I have a word for you.

First, when you can't do what you want for your family during the holidays, it just plain sucks.

And no matter how much all the well-wishers tell you just to count your blessings anyway, the sting of...
